Description

TANITH LEE
GOLD UNICORN
1st TOR edition
2nd printing
(1996)
CONDITION:  GOOD OR BETTER paperback, with some shelfwear but no markings, well bound pages.
Journeying through many distant lands, young Tanaquil hears frightful tales of the Empress Veriam, who wishes to conquer from one sea to the next. Tanaquil is shocked to learn that the dreadful tyrant is really her half-sister, Lizra.
Recalling the powerful effect the black unicorn had on her people, Lizra has constructed a tremendous mechanical unicorn as the symbol of her reign. The unicorn is gleaming golden - and lifeless.
Lizra commands Tanaquil to use her unique mending abilities to make the steam-powered unicorn move. Now Tanaquil must choose between assisting a war of conquest - or betraying her only sister.
Commentaries on line:
The peeve just keeps on getting more and more amusing! I think I like him better than the main character! The storyline was also interesting. Good quick read with a few chuckles thrown in, mostly because of the peeve.
Having read twenty-ish of her book, I have only scratched the surface of Tanith Lee's astonishing output, and I can still list several of them -- such as The Silver Metal Lover, Don't Bite The Sun, and Black Unicorn -- as being among my favorites of all time. I know that she's well-known, but it baffles me that she isn't listed more frequently among the all-time greats.
It was still a fascinating story to read about and the "other worlds" are just as incredible to explore. If you like magic, adventure, and unicorns that are powerful creatures that can strike fear into those who gaze upon it, then I highly recommend you pick up this series!
There’s an appeal, a strength to Tanith Lee’s writing that’s hard to pin down.
